Mrs Jenkins was my eighth grade science teacher and was a friend of my mother’s. Mrs Jenkins had a vibrant personality that is still remembered fondly by my classmates and I, almost 15 years later. I remember going out to Greek food with Mrs Jenkins and Hannah, watching the Oscars (and having my first mimosa) in her living room in Richland. We were so excited when Leonardo DiCaprio won! I remember her giving us a tour of her house and it was the kind of place I wanted to create myself as I got older. I know I didn’t meet the rest of the family and this message is a bit late, but I wanted to share my perspective and send my regards to your family. - Sam

What a beautiful life Miss Kellie had. Our sympathies to Brad, Hannah and Tess…. and all of Kellie’s family. We enjoyed meeting you at the neighborhood pool. Kellie was a bright star that burned out far too soon. Thank you for sharing a bit of her light with us

I am so sorry for the loss of Kellie. Both of my children had her for a science teacher. They both loved her. My daughter became a nurse because of her. I enjoyed working with her at Ascension of Our Lord School. She was a gift to all that knew her. Prayers for all of her family.

Brad, Hannah & Tess, sending love and prayers your way. We haven’t seen y’all in years but I’m so sorry to hear this news. Kellie was a beautiful soul here on earth and I know she will be missed

Brad, Hannah, Tess and Family, I am so deeply sorry and heartbroken to hear of Kellie’s passing. Her obituary truly summed up her personality. She was always so much fun to be with. Seems like yesterday we were teenagers going to parties and yes punk rock bars too lol. I was blessed to have her in my life for so long. My prayers go out to you and may God give you all strength and comfort through this journey of grief. I know your lives will never be the same. Love and prayers - Denise

I’ve sorry to hear we’ve lost such a wonderful light in the world. Mrs Jenkins was my first science teacher and ignited a passion for the sciences in me that has lasted til this day. Gone too soon. Her legacy will extend generations.
